Medications Take Back

Rexall supports keeping our homes and communities safe.

Rexall Pharmacy offers a Medication Take Back (MTB) service year-round, at no charge. Members of the community are encouraged to drop off all old and/or expired medications to any Rexall Pharmacy for safe disposal. Safe disposal of medication is necessary to ensure that old, expired or no longer needed medications are not accidentally used or intentionally misused and do not end up in our landfills. Since HSPA’s (Health Products Stewardship Association) program inception in 1999, our collective efforts have resulted in the collection of over 4,677,811 kilograms of unwanted pharmaceuticals and 3,141,828 kilograms of used medical sharps from collection locations across the regulated provinces.
